Chapter 3579 The Last Seven Days
"Think about it, his strength has dropped greatly. Isn't this a tiger in the plain? I really want to see his miserable appearance, hahaha."
Obviously, the third city lord also has a lot of resentment towards the first city lord, because the presence of the first city lord not only suppresses the brilliance of the second city lord, but also suppresses the third city lord.
"Heh."
The second city lord sneered, "You want to laugh at him, at least in Wansheng City, it is still difficult. His prestige is there. He may be forced to hand over power, but it is difficult to be laughed at and humiliated."
"Haha, of course I won't laugh at him in person, but I just want to see his miserable appearance. By the way, what kind of poison did Gongsun Valley Master use to make him unable to recover his strength? I'm really curious."
"This is not something you and I have to worry about."
The second city lord had a cold face. For some reason, he didn't want to discuss Gongsun Bai.
Deep down in his heart, he didn't know whether his cooperation with Gongsun Bai was to invite a wolf into the house in order to deal with the first city lord, and he was still a little uneasy.
The big city lord was certainly eliminated, but if Gongsun Bai and Yaowang Valley wanted to reach out to Wansheng City to make trouble, it would be extremely difficult for the second city lord to resist with his ability.
"City lord, the leaders of the forces that support us have gathered in the hall, waiting for the city lord to meet them."
The servants of the second city lord's mansion also came to report.
It must be said that the second city lord has indeed made a lot of preparations to seize power in recent years.
Plotting against the big city lord is naturally the most critical step.
In addition to this step, he also put a lot of effort into winning over various forces.
This time, the leaders of the forces gathered in the second city lord's mansion, waiting for the second city lord to meet, the total number of forces in Wansheng City and outside Wansheng City, actually exceeded half of the total.
Compared with the big city lord, there are less than one-third, and the second city lord has half, which is undoubtedly an extremely shocking number.
This is also the biggest confidence of the second city lord. With these people as a foundation, he will definitely surpass Su Chen in terms of support rate, and thus legitimately ascend to the position of the ruler of Wansheng City and become the first city lord of Wansheng City.
The number of people gathered on the side of the second city lord also quickly reached Su Chen's ears.
"Young City Lord, those people are fawning on the powerful, but not all of them are truly loyal to the Second City Lord. Many of them are fence-sitters who change their minds with the wind. The Second City Lord has used so many means, but he has not yet mastered half of the power. This shows how unpopular the Second City Lord is. If the Grand City Lord is still here, and he says a word, all these forces will definitely be loyal to him, and there will be no objections."
"Yes, Young City Lord, the Second City Lord seems to be very powerful, but it can be seen that his foundation is still very lacking."
"If we win over those people who are currently neutral, maybe we can even surpass the Second City Lord's Mansion in terms of support."
In the Grand City Lord's Mansion, the senior officials have different opinions, but most of them encourage Su Chen to work hard to win over the hearts of the people before the meeting begins, and compete with the Second City Lord for support.
Su Chen pressed his hands down and said with a smile: "Everyone, this meeting cannot start voting right away. At the beginning, there will always be a verbal dispute."
"You are right. In terms of eloquence, I don't believe that the second city lord can surpass our young city lord." The sixth city lord also laughed.
Manager An suggested: "We can't ignore the attitudes of other city lords. Young city lord, now the leaders of those forces are distributed all over the inner city, and it is not easy for us to find them one by one. However, I think we can still strive for the attitudes of the fourth and fifth city lords."
Manager Bai suddenly said: "Whether it is the fourth and fifth city lords, or the forces, it is not the most worrying issue. The most worrying thing is whether the second city lord will lose his mind and actually collude with powerful external forces, or even collude with people who are hostile to Wansheng City. If that happens, the situation will be beyond our control all of a sudden."
This is actually a very sensitive topic. However, the thoughtful manager Bai still raised this issue.
The Sixth City Lord agreed: "This possibility is not impossible. We must also prepare some countermeasures to deal with this aspect."
Su Chen nodded and said: "I have also thought about this. A few days ago, I have sent invitations to the other two powerful neutral cities around Wansheng City. As for Qianren City, their people are already on the way to Wansheng City. As for Jinghua City, they have not yet given a clear answer whether to come or not."
Qianren City and Jinghua City are two powerful neutral cities near Wansheng City. Although they are not as powerful as Wansheng City, they are also dominant.
These two are not the kind of small and medium-sized forces that depend on Wansheng City. So this time Su Chen invited them not to vote, but to be guests and strengthen his prestige.
Su Chen estimated that the Second City Lord also invited foreign aid. If he was stupid and did not make any preparations, he would undoubtedly be very passive at that time.
But Su Chen's foundation was too shallow and he had no connections at all. At the critical moment, he could only try desperately and send invitations to these two cities. Fortunately, Qianren City had a good relationship with the Grand City Lord before, so they came here to show respect, but Jinghua City had a weak relationship with the Grand City Lord's Mansion, so it was hard to say.
There were only seven days left before the inner city meeting was held.
